Science Ch 14
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| The item that disolves in a solution | solute |
| The liquid in a solution | solvent |
| The ability of a subatance to dissolve is described as | solubility |
| If sugar disolves easier than sand, I would say that sugar is | more soluble |
| Once a solution can't "fit" any more solute in it, we say it has reached | saturation |
| A chemical change results in a | compound |
| A physical change results in a | mixture |
| A solution is a specific type of | mixture |
| Pure substances are also called | elements |
| Pure substances can be identified using the | Periodic Table of the Elements |
| A substance with only one type of atom is a | pure substance/ element |
| Can a mixture be separated physically? | yes |
| Can a compound be separated physically? | no |
| To separate a mixture, I need to know | the physical properties of the components |
| Charachteristics of a compound include | 1. 2 or more elements chemically combined2. a new substance is formed3. you can not separate out the substances you began with |
| Charachteristics of a mixture include | 1. 2 or more substances physically combined2. can separate out the substances physically |
| If iron is in a mixture, what physical property can you use to separate and how can you get it out | use the physical property of magnetism and get it out by using a magnet to attract it. |
| if you have a mixture of sand and water, what physical property can you use to separate it, and how can you get it out | use the physical property that sand has a low solubility, and use a filter to get it out |
| if you have a solution of salt disolved in water, what physical property can you use to separate it, and how can you get it out | use the physical properties of the states of matter of water, and add heat to evaporate the water from a liquid to a gas, which will leave the salt behind |
| reacts strongly with a metal | acid |
| sour taste is evidence of | acid |
| red litmus paper turning blue is evidence that the substance is | a base |
